Duke's Chante Black, center, and Monique Currie, right, run into each other as they rebound the ball away from Maryland's Crystal Langhorne, left, during the second half of their 60-49 win Sunday, Feb. 13, 2005 in College Park, Md..

The previous record for attendance at an ACC women's game was 14,500, when No. 1 Maryland hosted No. 2 Virginia at Cole Field House on Feb. 12, 1992. The Terps and Blue Devils drew 13,446 at the Comcast Center last season, then the second-biggest crowd for an ACC women's game.

One night earlier, 17,950 fans packed the arena for the Duke-Maryland men's game, won by the Terps in overtime. Although Sunday's contest wasn't a sellout, there was a pregame traffic jam, a television crew from ESPN and an enthusiastic student section that was filled long before the opening tip.

 No. 1 LSU 66

South Carolina 36

COLUMBIA, S.C.  LSU coach Pokey Chatman didn't yell in the locker room when her top-ranked Lady Tigers led the worst team in the Southeastern Conference by just seven points at halftime.

She just told her team they should be playing better.

"You can speak softly and be heard when the challenge is on them," Chatman said.

The Lady Tigers (23-1, 10-0 SEC) responded by scoring the first 24 points of the second half to turn a close game into a blowout, beating South Carolina.

 No. 2 Ohio St. 67, Iowa 60

IOWA CITY, Iowa  Jessica Davenport scored 21 points and converted a key three-point play late in the game that enabled No. 2 Ohio State to hold off Iowa for its 13th straight victory.

Caity Matter added 18 points for the Buckeyes (24-2, 11-1 Big Ten) and hit a 3-pointer with just under 5 minutes left to break the game's final tie. Ohio State used a 16-0 run to erase a 12-point Iowa lead in the first half, then went on a 13-2 second-half run to take the lead for good.

Iowa (16-7, 5-7) led 53-47 when Krista VandeVenter scored on a putback with 11:47 remaining, then made only two baskets the rest of the way. Jamie Cavey led the Hawkeyes with 22 points, 14 in the second half.

 No. 5 Tennessee 72

No. 21 Vanderbilt 63

KNOXVILLE, Tenn.  Shyra Ely scored 18 points, Shanna Zolman and Tye'sha Fluker each had 14 and Tennessee held on to beat Vanderbilt.

Liz Shimek had 13 points and nine rebounds, and Rene Haynes scored 12 points as the Spartans (22-3, 11-2 Big Ten) pulled within one victory of tying the school record for wins in a season, set in 1976-77.
